My bandmates and I would like to announce the launch of our new Gary Numan
tribute album. We believe that we are by far the biggest names to record a
Numan tribute to date, and we sincerely hope that Numan fans everywhere will
enjoy our efforts.
A website has been set up at http://machmunk.garynumanfan.nu to help promote
the album, and RealAudio sound clips are included so you can all have a sneak
preview of our work.
Enjoy!
Love to all,
"Machmunk"

To: "Digest"
I know we've had a flurry of "Favourites Lists" lately, but have we done
B-sides ??
Now there's an area in which GN has often shined - there are some real
classics out there.
Personally, I'd go for:
1. Asylum
2. Survival
3. Photograph
4. D.I.T.P (Piano)
5. Noise Noise

I've just joined the GN Digest list, so I will
introduce myself. G'day everyone! Yep, that's right, I
currently reside in Australia. My name's Linda, born
in Denmark, 21 years of age, musically and lingually
inclined, quite short!
My first musical passion was to be the Pet Shop Boys,
whom I became a fan of when I was 17. (Latestarter, I
know). Other favourite artists include: Ultravox
(Predictable?), 2Unllimited, Culture Beat, Faithless,
Sash!, ATB, Moby, Underworld, Robbie Williams, Blur,
Frankie Goes To hollywood, Rod Stewart, Cliff Richard
- a mixed bag.
I first fot into Gary viaNeil tennant of the PSB -
this is because he mentioned quite liking Are
'friends' Electric and Complex. So I thought I'd check
these songs out if possible. I came across a cheap
compilation CD with a live version of AFE back in
March '99, and declared myself irrevocably a fan on
30. December'99. I love Gary's voice, lyrics, the
atmosphere's created and the emotion invested in the
songs. I am hoping to soon increase my GN stock by
purchasing 10 albums as soon as possible - they are on
order! Cannot wait!!!
Greetings and best wishes to all out there, linda

Subject: Komputer/H Corps
To: "Digest"
Hi
I'm looking for some stuff by Hard Corps (have I sent this request already
??). They were a short-lived synth band in the early-mid 80s - French I
think with a female singer. I'm keen to get whatever they released (vinyl,
cassette, anything) - I remember a single they released called "Dirty", and
they had maybe another single, I believe on Survival (the old Tik & Tok
label) - they also made an appearance on The Tube. Does anyone have anything
??? I'm willing to trade, or pay a fair price. Please let me know if you
have anything.
Also - I picked up a cd single this weekend by a band called Komputer. This
is on the Mute label (always a good sign, which is why I bought it). The
song is called Terminus. Check them out if you can - I tell you, I've never
heard anything SO like Kraftwerk - so close I would have said it WAS
Kraftwerk had I not known different !! Very good indeed.
Thats all - mail me about the Hard Corps if you have anything.
Bye

Subject: numan covers
To: digest@GaryNumanFan.nu
Hello, again. I'm back to once again plead for Numan cover songs. In
particular I'm looking for a copy of Ghost of a White Faced Clown. I don't
even need an original copy, a dub would be fine. I'm getting desperate!
Can anybody out there help me?
A number of digests ago (sometime in February i think) someone was asking
about if there could be a tribute album featuring just 'Cars'. Well, i've
put together my own version to listen to in my car. Here's a list of all
covers of Cars I own (not all that exist, just the ones i happen to have
right now)in alphabetical order.
1. Coercion (Reinventing the '80s) - an instrumental version of the
Spahn Ranch remix. I was pretty pissed after I bought it as you
might guess.
2. Fear Factory (Obsolete) - You all know about this one.
3. Fe26 (A Worldly Story) - TRUE metal version of Cars. Pretty cool.
4. Integ2000 (Project: Regenesis) - Similar to FF, only lyrics are
yelled out abruptly.
5. Judybats (Daylight single) - Somewhat annoying 'southern rock'
version.
6. Luxt (Newer Wave) - Decent, with female vocals.
7. Portable (Portable EP) - Really cool 'alternative' version.
8. Shampoo (Girl Power single) - Fair version.
9. SkitZo (Got Sick [hidden track]) - Weird metal version, lyrics
have been changed into a horror song. Ex: here in my car, i'm
killing you . . . etc.
10. Terre Thaemlitz (Replicas Rubato) - Sweet piano version.
11. Tia (Cars single) - Pop mutated slop with Sir Mix-a-Lot.
Hope everyone enjoys my little list.

From: "Antonio"
Subject: Queen Adreena
To: , "Gary Numan" ,
This review is for all the whingers who complain about Gary Numan gigs :>
So, tonight I saw Queen Adreena, live in concert, man. They are, to all
intents and purpoes, a new band, with their debut album (Taxidermy) only
just released. They have, however, about eight years ago, in fact, been a
band before - with a UK top 20 hit single - under the name Daisy Chainsaw.
Let me review this gig.
The first support act - a threesome of girlies named Earl, were sort of
folk-goth-pop and good enough for me to chat to the bass player and purchase
a demo CD from. They were on for half an hour. The second support band -
We Wish We Were Oasis, I think they were called (or was it Bull Goose Loony?
One of the two...) were shit. I can't say much more about them - scruffy,
ugly fuckers without a tune between the five of them. I predict they will
be massive, because this is exactly what I said about the Stone Roses when
they started out :}
Queen Adreena came onstage at about 11.20, and were intense, brilliant and
gorgeous. Katie Jane Garside sang her teeny little heart out, and sprawled
around the stage like a goth fairy. They were brilliant. I urge you all to
immediately buy Taxidermy. They played for 40 minutes (only the one album
out, see? Unless you count 1992's eleventeen, Daisy Chainsaws only album)
and were gone - no encores, no comebacks, not even a courtesy snog for *any*
of the fifty strong crowd from the lovely Katie nor the lovely Crispin who
so solidly played the geetar.
So, this was brilliant. But it did bring to mind all the negative comments
I have read about Gary Numan's recent gigs. So Gary only plays 90 minutes
and in those 90 minutes he tends to play a similar set to the one he played
3 months prior to an audience 200 miles away... the point is this - if you
get to see a Numan gig, do not complain. He could legitimately just play
Exile and there would be nothing you could say or do which would change
that, nor would it detract from the performance.
So, when at the London gig - just enjoy what he does. I want to read
reviews of this which are positive, beause I know it will be something very
special. If I want to read bad reviews, I shall, as ever, buy the NME.
Point being, if I can thoroughly enjoy a 40 minute gig by a band who I have
seen already and who played not one track I knew as I have yet to buy their
album, then you can damn well enjoy Gary Numan in London :>

first of all, thanks for the gary myrick info. i liked the figures,
too, and i'll be looking for myrick and havana 3AM (didn't the bass
player for the clash, paul, have a band in the early '90s called havana
3AM?).
second, there's a neil sedaka record cover that is very numaneque. he's
got the 1930s gangster/male prostitute outfit on very similar to gary's
on dance and i, assassin. VERY similar. what's that record called?

that's why we love him. however it didn't show up in THAT particular

This maybe too late, but I've just been let down by a couple of mates and have a pair of tickets for the concert. They are level 3 and if anybody wants them for face value at £15 each e-mail me personally.
